Quoting: Pete
terrible? why? whom would you bring in if being real gm?
Run the lineup give them realistic goal totals and then give both goalies realistic numbers and this is a negative team
Goals
1st line
30 24 17
2nd line
33 22 18
3rd line

4th line

Add in 8 more with injury fill in’s and call ups
Goaltending
Jones will be at best 63 games 2.91 GA 902%
Kofar more like 19 games 3.36 GA 887%
Add in 7-10 empty net goals that don’t count on either players stats
This puts our goal scored at around 225-240
Goals given up at 254-257
This doesn’t even put in place for major injuries, slumps
And this is contingent on jones having a bounce back year!
You put Jones average of the last 2 years and you have to add 8-12 more goals to that total
Now compare those numbers to teams from last year(18/19 not 19/20)
The closest teams are the oilers Canucks sabers and flyers
All sub 500 teams and all non playoff teams
This is how a real GM plans their team they look at what they can expect and if the team they put together is a negative team they are most likely playing for hope or a lottery pick either way they won’t be GM for long.
